A critical review of the adsorption-desorption characteristics of antibiotics on microplastics and their combined toxic effects

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 35, P. 103729 - 103729

The interaction between microplastics (MPs) and pollutants is crucial for assessing the environmental risk of MPs. It necessary to pay attention adsorption/desorption behavior antibiotics on MPs due their potential role in antibiotic resistance. When MPs-loaded are ingested by organisms, they enter gastrointestinal tract undergo desorption, leading corresponding toxic effects. Existing literature primarily focuses adsorption behavior, while there a lack systematic generalizations desorption or combined effects organisms. Therefore, this article provides review mechanisms, biological tract. Desorption suggests that characteristics (aging hydrophobicity) components fluid (digestive enzyme species pH) can also have effect desorption. Moreover, summarizes induced MPs-antibiotics, demonstrating either enhance reduce plants, microorganisms, aquatic animals. Since methodological uniformity relevance natural environment main shortcomings existing literature, future research should focus actual water given region studying at gene, protein, metabolic levels. This direction expected provide valuable references insights evaluating antibiotics.

High-Efficiency Degradation of PET Plastics by Glutathione S-Transferase under Mild Conditions

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: July 16, 2024

Plastic pollution is a significant environmental concern globally. Plastics are normally considered chemically inert and resistant to biodegradation. Although many papers have reported enzyme-induced biodegradation of plastics, these studies primarily limited enzymes microbial origin or engineered enzymes. This study reveals that poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET, ∼6000 Da 100 kDa) particles plastic bottle debris (PBD, 24.9 can be efficiently degraded by mammal-origin natural phase II metabolic isozyme, glutathione S-transferase (GST), under mild conditions. The degradation efficiency PET plastics reached 98.9%, with rate 2.6 g·L–1·h–1 ambient physiological conditions at 1 atm. GST varying biological factors (i.e., temperature, light irradiation, pH, presence humic acid protein). We suggest novel mechanism for other than hydrolysis, i.e., the cleavage release monomers via nitridation oxidation. finding also function GST, previously thought only degrade small molecules (<1000 Da). method has been successfully applied in real human serum samples. Additionally, we tested confirmed ability digestive enzyme (trypsin) human-derived (CYP450). Overall, our findings provide potential new route control contribute understanding metabolism fate organisms.

Oral exposure to nano- and microplastics: Potential effects in food allergies?

Allergy medicine., Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 1, P. 100006 - 100006

Published: Aug. 8, 2024

Food allergies (FA) is an inappropriate immune response to dietary antigens and ranks among the most common chronic diseases globally, with a rising incidence. Environmental exposure significantly influences development of FA. In modern life, hundreds thousands novel environmental contaminants have been introduced, including nano- microplastics (NMPs). The recently introduced 'Epithelial Barrier Theory' suggests that NMPs damage epithelium our skin, lungs gastrointestinal system. And studies also shown correlation between allergic diseases, such as asthma rhinitis. However, relationship FA remains unclear. There possibility high concentrations in diet environment could increase prevalence or severity This review aimed provide relevant information on possible effects Contaminating can interact food allergens matrix, potentially binding altering their structure. Moreover, might decrease digestibility allergens, intestinal permeability, promote inflammatory intestines, cause dysbiosis interfere systems-all which enhance sensitivity allergens. Given limited impacts regarding risk development, further research needed determine whether amplify sensitization proteins.
